Working together, Tonga and partners took meaningful steps toward a sustainable future through protecting and leveraging nature as a key solution to environmental and economic challenges.
Government officials, environmental experts, and international partners gathered in Nuku’alofa for the Promoting Pacific Islands Nature-based Solutions (PPIN) Co-Design and Cost-Benefit Analysis Workshop on 6 March 2025.
Discussions centred around opportunities for strengthening Nature-based Solutions (NbS) through policy, cost benefit analysis and capacity building to address climate change, enhance resilience, and support sustainable development.
“For generations, our people have relied on the land and sea for their livelihoods. As we navigate the challenges of climate change, we must continue to integrate nature-based approaches that align with both our traditional knowledge and modern science,” said Ms. Atelaite Lupe Matoto, Director of Environment, Tonga.
